Shark Tank India is gearing up for its 5th season, and the makers of the show shared a teaser on June 25, 2025, stating that registration for the upcoming season is now open for all. The witty teaser, dropped by SonyLiv on Instagram, took a dig at the toxic corporate expectations in India. The makers captioned the video as, “Stay loyal - keep turning your millionaire bosses into billionaires. Shark Tank India Season 5 registrations are now open, but don’t register.” The video also mocks Infosys founder Narayana Murthy’s controversial comment about implementing 70-hour work weeks. Earlier, Narayana Murthy said that he doesn’t believe in the idea of ‘work-life balance’, and that he was disappointed when India moved away from six-day work weeks.

Shark Tank India’s teaser unfolded with several fictional CEOs complaining about their employees who are leaving the organisation to start their start-up. A person can be seen complaining about not being able to play golf as his employee is not present to pick up his bags. While another person complains about taking sharing-helicopter rides. The video pointed out the greedy nature of the CEOs who exploit their employees at the workplace.

A sarcastic voiceover can be heard, which urges the viewers to continue their jobs and help their bosses become richer with time, and not start their entrepreneurial ventures. “You can change (your bosses’) lives. So, please work overtime. Sacrifice your personal life, your hobbies, and your start-up dreams. Work 70 hours for your bosses, at least until AI doesn’t replace you. Keep working, so that your millionaire bosses become billionaires. Save your bosses, do not apply to Shark Tank India,” the voiceover said.
